Life in Snugburg

127

BUILDING JOURNAL

I really enjoyed meeting Birgitte and seeing her brilliant

models! Her use of bright colors with more muted black

and brown timber framing creates a medieval look

that’s fun and whimsical. She told me how she likes

to build scenes and create stories for her minifigures.

This brings them to life. Snugburg is cleverly built on

a single 48 × 48 stud LEGO base plate and is a great

example of how you can build an entire city incorporating

different looks into each side within a condensed space.

The stonework of the castle blends seamlessly into the

Tudor buildings. I should keep these techniques in mind

for the next addition to my Idea Lab!

Wow, Snugburg lks

like a reay fun place

to live! But I have to

get back on the trail

of The Destructor now.

Thanksfor showing me

around, Birgie!

You are most welcome,

Megs. It was my pleasure.

Gd luck arehending

that mad Destructor!

Building Tip

You can group colors—

for example, warm colors

like yellow, orange, red,

and brown or cold colors

like blues and purples. Or

you can contrast them,

as Birgitte has, to make

parts of your model

stand out.
